You know when you get one of those very odd occasions when you manage to pack your tent up dry? they do happen even if they are hard to remember. happened to us today, I knew the very bottom of the base seconds full was damp so opened it out to dry when I got home. I also knew that the sleeping pop up was dry but for completeness sake I opened it out. So glad I did there was a very alive caterpillar building itself a cocoon on my tent!! It was not pleased when I pulled it off. I do have a photo and will post when my computer cooperates. I could not believe it.
So even when dry it is best to open your tent and check it when you get home

Thankfully no. The only lump I have ever found was UFO light shaped, almost had one of those today but spotted it just in time

I have dropped a tent with car keys inside, but luckily checked at just the right point and crawled in before folding. A narrow escape!

Jim that's my worst nightmare as we sometimes store the car key in the tent pocket. Before I start packing down I make sure keys are in the car. I'm sure we will be caught out at sometime, sat in the car, packed down and ready to go...where's the car key...?

yup done the key thing. Was showing off a couple of years ago as other campers watching fascinated with my pop up Quechua base tent. Swish swish swirl, into the boot, drivers seat, no keys, slink to boot, unswirl, scrabble, chuck in back and drive off.

I know where my keys are; keys inside my bag. bag around my bum & other things: Where's my bum & other things. Sitting on it in my wheelie. I always have the keys passed on my OH; now after this lot I know why they are given to me. So I could get the blame if missing. Cheeky or wise.hmmmm.

Not done the keys but a wristwatch. Looked everywhere except tent pocket. Even put tent away and never felt it in there. Discovered when I pitched and checked tent pre selling on.

We felt a UFO light-shaped lump as were folding the tent up last month. I'm ashamed to say we went "meh, we're putting it up again in a few weeks, it'll keep til then" and carried on folding.

Rolled out my little cycling/backpacking tent the other night for a party and found my emergency hat. Wondered why that was there and then remembered it was my emergency hat I vowed to keep there forever because I was freezing the last time!
